Darwin never really takes photos of himself. It's kind of like pulling teeth with him, honestly. It's a good thing Clef LOVES being in photos!!

[From This Prompt List]

hits you with the little-guy-ification beam

Does Val have any coworkers at the diner??

Aside from the owner and the cooks, Val works as a waiter with a few other familiar toons!

[popfizzles]

PLEASE do you have a bigger version of that image of cleft eating a corndog in the bottom corner of the selfie photo its killing me

Sure, it's not exactly fully colored (because it was only supposed to be cropped in that tiny little circle)

but yeah here's the full thing HLKGJH

Darwin doesn't really smoke cigarettes often, only when he's feeling crummy.

On bad days, he blows through a whole pack in a single night.

What kind of music does Darwin, Betsy and Clef like to play? Are they like a band together?

Darwin, Betsy, and Clef aren't a band, they're street musicians :) they're buskers!!

Darwin (the potted tulip toon) carries a small amp with him across the isles to plug in his keytar wherever he can set up shop. His favorite places to perform are small restaurants (he brings in business so most places let him do so for free)! He also does crowd work well, poking fun with bystanders and jeering people who walk past him without stopping or tipping. He's very "vicious mockery" core. Busking is Darwin's preferred work, but when days are slow, he picks up odd-jobs online instead.

Clef (the orange music note) has a tiny flatbed he drags a compact drum kit on. He prefers places with echos and great acoustics, like the subway or public parks. Clef isn't necessarily in busking for the cash he gets from it, since he has a well-paying office job on the side. Instead, Clef is concerned with just Making As Much Noise As Possible. If people stop by and toss him a few coins, that's just a bonus! Busking is cathartic for him!!

And Betsy (the purple catgirl toon) has an acoustic guitar that she likes to pluck on. She's softer than the other two, quieter, very peaceful and melodic. She finds quieter places to perform where she won't be too much of a disturbance to the people walking past, and keeps her guitar case open so people can tip her freely. Betsy is busking in order to help pay for medical bills regarding her broken tail. <:)

They know each other by virtue of performing in similar places, and having a sort of friendly conversations, solidarity between street musicians. Like workplace associates but much nicer about it?

They're all a strange sort of close where they don't know each other's last names, but they know each other's favorite things to get out of the vending machines. :)

Darwin and his band performing and maybe some moments with plink

You might be misunderstanding! Darwin doesn’t have a band, he’s a busker, as in he performs his music on the street for tips. Clef and Betsy are both other buskers that Darwin has come to know because they pass each other or perform in the same area. Darwin plays his keytar, Clef has a small mobile drum set (he packs it up and moves it on a flatbed), and Betsy has an acoustic guitar. 

They’re a strange kind of friendly with each other, the kind where they don’t know each other’s last names, but they know their favorite snack out of the vending machine.

Plink, on the other hand? Unfortunately, doesn’t have much substance as a character, at least in terms of actual story or placement.

more of them because i love them....

I finally got to play as Darwin in a session with @dreamaredoodle an @clockworkscholar and it was GREAT i was thinking about it all day and i couldn’t stop drawing him today.

also the eighth note is named Clef and the cat is named Betsy they’re both other buskers who know Darwin from just being around the same general area as him
